I wrote this song when I was 17. I always wanted to know what it was like to roam the open west, without all the hustle and bustle. I hope you enjoy. Also for those who keep asking. No, there is no autotune on this, just some echo.

Lyrics:

When I was young I always dreamed.
Of roaming the open plains.
On a horse as fast as lightning.
grabbing life up by the reins.
I always wanted to be a cowboy.
With a six gun by my side.
I never thought a day would come.
When the legend of the cowboy died.
Now they say a cowboy's lazy, reckless drunk and dumb.
What happened to the cowboys I knew? The ones that I loved.

Say goodbye to Marty Robbins
Where is Chris Ledoux.
What about old Clint Eastwood.
And the cowboys that I once knew.

The world mistook cowboys for rednecks.
They think they're all just hicks.
But cowboys were naturally friendly.
And settled all disputes real quick.
A cowboy knows how to ride.
And how to use a gun
A cowboy knows when to be serious.
And when to have a little fun.

Say goodbye to Johnny Cash.
Where is Conway Twit/
What about ol' Willy Nelson.
The desperadoes I have met.
Yeah let's bring back old John Wayne.
And his trusty 45.
Let's blow these lies right out of the sand.
and bring cowboys back to life.
Let's sing and old western tale and bring cowboys back to life.
